Casuals are getting filtered out, which doesn't actually affect their bottom line at all. Ideally they don't want anyone who only consumes the free content.
>>
>>110061930
There's probably a minor hit from graduated members, but I also think it's stagnation. Vtubing isn't really growing in the way a lot of people thought it would, it's not that much different or more innovative than it was during covid (Hololive/corpo vtubing being the place where this is most apparent/damning), but I think you can ultimately tie the decline back to Cover going public. I think some individual members are doing cool stuff but as a whole everything is kinda boring now.
>>
>>110062573
Yet they still grasp for casuals and real fans suffer for it. Idk about you but in almost a decade I would think we'd have an official game, anime, or something really neat only possible through vtubing that I'm not creative enough to come up with.

Yeah, what could possibly caused the decline of Hololive?
>>
>>110061930
I think it's mostly the new age verification system that YouTube has implemented which is heavily culling vtuber numbers. Holofes lost almost 50% of their viewer numbers but so did the EN anniversary lives. Many EN vtuber corpos are botting like crazy since they all started to have a large drop in numbers since the middle of 2025.

>>110063028
The graduations definitely caused some of the decline but there is no way that it caused a 50% decrease in Holofes viewers. If anything casual fans are less affected by graduations than dedicated fans.

Age verification isn't playing a role here, as these streams can be watched even when not logged into an account.

>>110062674
What does any of that have to do with vtubing. They have tons of games and what's the point of an anime without them being the voice actors, at which point they already have that too and many official manga.
>>
>>110062195
It really feels like the magic's just shattered on every front no matter who you're a fan of.
>Hololive
Lot's of people have graduated, constantly shilling more merch and sponsors, and even A-Chan made a video showing how the magic faded from the company over time as it went public
>Nijisanji
Too many fucking yabs to mention
>VShojo
A charity fraud corpo that's gone now. Some of the bigger members aren't even friends anymore
>Big Indies
Many big friendships have broken apart and more infighting than they used to have. Everyone has gotten comfortable with collabing within their own little bubbles
>Phase
Also has infighting and the company publicly turned against one of their girls because of some controversy. Clara got harassed out of the company.
>>
Nobody fucking streams. Streams build up the fanbase. Marine only sold 5k streaming tickets when she used to sell 10k+

Hololive won't starve obviously but they've taken their fanbase for granted for years.

No, because the venue was still a success. It's mostly casual fans/tourists who are moving on. (the people who may spend an hour or so watching online, but never dedicate the time to go to events in person)

The pirate link had 3.2k people watching which is more than what Niji and Phase can get on their actual legal streams.

Hololive has felt boring since around 2022/2023. It's no longer about a ragtag group of girls trying to build up an industry through their own hard work and determination. It's now about a large group with massive resources looking to extract as much profit as they can from their fans. There is no more "idol journey" in Hololive, there's no need to strive to prove yourself. You get in, you get instant fame, fortune, resources, and support, and then you just coast. There's nothing new to look forward to anymore. It's just so boring.

This event is losing its charm and year after year has become more corporate, formulaic, and sterile.
>Expo streams are direct shilling or indirect shilling, with holos playing the "new product"
>The super aggressive push of merch and sales makes the whole weekend feel less about celebrating what fans love and more about getting a pay out. They're literally selling a $20 box. It's fucking pathetic.
>Fes stages follow clear patterns and formulas in their production.
>Most of the setlist is safe selections of Cover owned music and it's less about surprising fans with strange and unique sets which include third party covers.
>Everyone knows this event is pre-recorded, the illusion and ambiguity of the past is gone. No one is really pushing the cope of it being live.
>The creator stages are gone.
>The stages are still happening in shitty ass makuhari with the flat floor which gives people tons of terrible seats. Maybe it's time to separate Expo and Fes to move it into a proper arena venue to give people a better show?
>The AV/stream/quality of fes is stagnating. Models still look jaggy, streams have artifacting, camera work is still ASS with constant shitty shots of the crowd or fucked up zoom/angles, the stage is always very simple and no where near as unique and decorative as during 3D/sololive performances. They charge the same price but nothing is improving.

At this point I know I'm buying a ticket just to support my oshi(s) more than being interested in the event because it's so dialed in by Cover. And that's really sad to think about. Yeah, sure, I had fun. But I could've had an amazing time.
>>
>>110061930
The very japanese problem of them sticking to one thing and ONLY one thing in the same style with no variation because "that's how it has always been" so it's boring. Not to mention expensive. Lack of proper variety and the economy being shit. It's probably why even "holoEN" is more enticed to pander to JP since the JP audience are the ones that are most "loyal" AKA they're ok with the repetitiveness of it all.

People did the same thing last year. Doesn't explain the 50% viewership drop.

I'm not gonna suggest any cause nor solution, because I haven't watched Holo since 2023. But it's telling that the indies I follow, some of which are/were huge Holofags, have made no mention of the big annual event. Years past, there would be live tweeting, in some cases watchalongs. This year I wouldn't even know it was happening if I didn't scroll the catalog.

Statistically impossible.
The stages last year had a capacity of 16k. The stages this year had a 18k capacity.
The stages last year had 100k+ ccv on the livestreams. The stages this year had ~50k on the livestreams.

Last year, the concerts were held in Halls 9-11, which when combined have a capacity of 16k.
This year, the concerts were held in Halls 1-3, which are only ~12% larger than halls 9-11, so they have a total capacity of 18k.

It's because no one really cares about actual feedback they just want to use fes as a thing to bitch about saba, niji, whatever. I don't care about all of that. I actually miss the charm and soul of prior fes. It had scuff elements but for the time period, I felt they were doing their best. But now it's years later and they've not really improved anything. I really think they should move fes to a better venue and leave expo as a convention. But I'm 100% sure no one gives a fuck about expo without fes because it's just a giant advertisement event. Even the "monitoring" segments where you might have your oshi on the big screen talking to the crowd aren't streamed. It shows how they care more about making sure streams are allocated to products and not fan activities. It's annoying to see all this because I get the feeling Cover is going to be too late to fix things before they lose too much.
>>
>>110061930
Gura, Mumei, and Fauna was traded for shit tier performers like Shiori, ERB, and CC
>>
Here's the actual reason:
Last year, Nijifes was held at the end of February, while Holofes was held in March.
The Nijifes concert streams topped out at 85k ccv.
Hololive didn't want to lose, so they botted their streams to 100k.
This year, Nijifes isn't being held until May, so there will be much less direct comparison, and less reason to bot.

>>110074230
And each hall holds 18k. They are also not separated, it is one big room. The 48k people are right there being amazing.

>Age verification isn't playing a role here, as these streams can be watched even when not logged into an account.
The issue has been whether those viewers are counted the same way. Either half of the Holofes viewers simply vanished in a year or YouTube accounts that aren't age verified are being counted differently (as less than 1 viewer). The casual vtuber fans that never bother with a verified account would explain the huge drop in numbers for both Hololive and Nijisanji.

Alright faggot if you want to be pedantic we can play with numbers.

Assuming cover is retarded and did not have 3 halls, which I give you is plausible cause cover, lets assume you're right somehow and it was just a 18k capacity hall.

Assuming each stage sold out, which they did, that's 18k for each stage over a total of 4 stages, that's 72k, so that's 18k people each day.

Assuming we use the average instead of the max number of stream watchers:

day 1 would be 42k viewers + 18k attending = 60k
day 2 would be 31k viewers +18k attending =
49k
day 3 would be 35k viewers+ 18k attending =
53k
day 4 would be 34k viewers +18k attending =
52k

Just because these numbers are split up, does not make them just go away no matter what your feelings say, so over the course of all 4 days there were 214k stream tickets and 72k physical tickets sold.

Which means that 48k you keep bringing up was either mixed into that 214k streaming tickets sold or were one of the 72k physical tickets sold over the course of the weekend.
>>
>>110083791
>Assuming cover is retarded and did not have 3 halls
They had 3 halls both last year and this year.
Last year they were in Halls 9-11, which have a combined capacity of 16k
This year they were in Halls 1-3, which combined have a ~12% higher capacity than 9-11, so 18k.
That is only a 2k capacity increase since last year.
And yet, the livestreams are down 50%, from 100k to 50k.
>>
>>110083791
nta but you do realize Holofes was only 3 days, right?
>>
>>110084048
I know, its plausible you have people show up for one stage and leave after another to make room for others.

>>110083932
That 50k of yours is mixed into the 72k attendees, or one of the 214k streaming tickets.
>>
>>110084113
>I know, its plausible you have people show up for one stage and leave after another to make room for others.
not my point. you're saying holofes was 4 days long, when it was only 3.
>>
>>110084184
Replace day with stage then, it still doesn't change the numbers.
>>
>>110076926
This confirms Hololive declined 50% while Niji inclined almost 80%.
Hololive fans are literally leaving and watching Nijisanji instead.
>>
>>110084184
In fact 72k attendees and 214k streaming tickets over the course of 3 days sort of shows you have even less of a point lol.
>>
So why did holo lost 50% of it's casual viewers?

>>110083791
So here's the funny part: there were actually 4 stages last year as well. OP just didn't include it in the image because it was not a numbered stage.
Between Stages 2 & 3, there was another stage named "Creator's Stage". It was named differently because it was all original Hololive songs, not a mix of originals & covers like the other stages are. It was functionally the same as the other stages (choreographed 3D performances by Hololive talents).
The Creator's Stage peaked at 87k ccv, which while not the 100k+ of the other stages, was still more than any of the stages from this year.
So in reality, the number of concert stages in 2025 and 2026 are the same (4 each), with 2026 having a slightly larger concert venue (Halls 9-11 vs Halls 1-3, about a 2k capacity increase).
And yet, livestream viewership is down from 100k+ to 50k, despite the number of stages being the same (4).
>>
>>110086006
214k streaming tickets says you're wrong. Again, that 50k could've easily been part of the 74k physical ticket sales this year.

I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand other than it shits on your narrative, but that was never important to begin with.
>>
>>110086939
>214k streaming tickets says you're wrong.
Show sources of last year's streaming ticket count vs this year's streaming ticket count.
>>
>>110087002
There's no source because they repeatedly pull this shot out of their ass.
He is right that there was more space for people tp show up and they did have more in-person attendance, but it doesn't make up for the loss of general viewership from people who are casual fans or slightly interested who might get hooked. They don't do those free sections out of the kindness of their hearts like all the retards here act like they do. It's a hook put out to try and get last minute stream ticket buyers who feel left out of the fomo or hype.
>>
>>110087002
Well you see anon, its the average number of viewers. That's a paid stage so the average is how many stick around after the free portion.

Which means that's 214k stream tickets this year, and 198k stream tickets last year, because believe it or not, that extra stage did make a difference.

>>110087213
A casual just wandering in to see what the expo about isn't going to go see the fes, because they probably wont care, and b the tickets were already sold out.
>>
less viewers is good actually
>>
>>110087429
Youtube is ONLY the free portion. There is no paid portion on Youtube, because the stream just ends.
There was no extra stage, because there were 4 stages last year as well.
>>
>>110087429
Moreso people who have an inkling of what goes on and check in and like the energy. People spend stupid amounts of money to be 'in the moment', so I don't doubt that the free portions get more last minute sales than if they just didn't have any free portions on youtube.
>>
>>110087556
Then that means you don't know shit about the actual streaming numbers, and I don't either so there's no way to actually argue about that.

But it was still confirmed tickets were sold out for each of the 4 stages so that 74k is still around being the bane of your argument.
>>
>>110088684
>and I don't either
So you were lying about that 214k streaming ticket number?
>But it was still confirmed tickets were sold out for each of the 4 stages so that 74k is still around being the bane of your argument.
The 4 stages last year were all sold out as well, yet there were still 100k+ people watching the free streams on Youtube. But this year it was only 50k, a 50% decrease.
>>
>>110088859
Because they decided to go show up to the fes as part of the 74k that you keep ignoring, but will still keep being part of.

Turns out you cant watch streams if you're there waving a penlight, amazing right?
>>
>>110088908
And as you have been told multiple times, this year's venue was only marginally bigger than last year.
Let's look at the Stage 1s as an example.
Last year the venue had a capacity of 16k, with 100k+ watching the free Youtube stream. That's 116k+ for Stage 1 2026.
This year the venue had a capacity of 18k, with 50k watching the free Youtube stream. That's 68k for Stage 1 2026.
That's a pretty big difference. Almost 50k. Where did those 50k people go?
>>
>>110089073
>Because they decided to go show up to the fes as part of the 74k that you keep ignoring, but will still keep being part of.

also

>Trying to use the drop in preview viewership as a argument.

Really? you're doing that?
>>
>>110089476
74k - 68k is not 50k.
Where did the 50k viewers go?
>>
>>110065793

> they decided to go show up to the fes as part of the 74k that you keep ignoring, but will still keep being part of.
>>
>>110089814
Fes does not have the capacity to fit an extra 50k people. So where did they go?
>>
>>110090040
They became part of the total 74k in person ticket holders.

Sisters really cannot understand totals can they?
>>
>>110090141
A very small part it seems, as the venue did not have a +50k attendance compared to last year (because the venue physically cannot fit 50k+ more people). Lots of people are no longer being accounted for.
>>
>>110090206
Okay let me explain it to you then.

18k max capacity right, there were maximum ticket sales since each of the 4 stages sold out.

If there are 4 stages with 18k attendees watching each of the stages and swapping out so a new batch of 18 attendees can take their place to watch the next stage, that would make more than 70k wouldn't it?

And isn't 70k more than 50k?

So your 50k still became part of the 70k attendees over the course of the 4 stages.

Also stop being obtuse faggot.

Okay. Cool. Anycolor has higher shareholder value than Cover.
Please explain how this benefits anyone other than the Anycolor shareholders.

I think this Niko situation has officially confirmed once and for all that this consistent drop-off in Youtube viewership for Hololive is either because of changes youtube made to how it counts viewers (boring explanation) or more likely, that all the dramafags and scumsuckers who never contributed a single cent have officially moved on since even drama like this has gotten no attention or views at all.

vtubing is declining rapidly. It captured a generation of ex-bronies, and now everyone's moving on. The next generation isn't interested.

Lots of big talents left
Other big talents have had rifts with their fans, eh Marine
People wanted to support the idol dreams of wagies and office ladies, not as eager to support already successful ex idol hires
People also not excited to see their earnest support wasted on holoearth, holostars, HLZNTL etc
Direction of the company is not exciting, moving from 3d lives and streaming which people enjoy to concerts and nonstop shilling
Deliberate attempts to change the culture and type of fans to be more nijisanji culture and direct partnerships with niji
>>
>>110084340
Why wouldn't they?
Hololive used to be unique and they chose to make it more like niji
If you get niji either way, might as well watch the actual thing
